GCSE Biology

Abstract

This book should not be considered as a textbook. Information has been nicely spaced out and put in such a way, that it should be easy to use during biology-lessons and study-time. When writing this book, I kept in mind that you, the student, still need tuition from your teacher. He or she can still give you extra information or leave out some. Therefore, consider this book as a guide to help you get the needed information.

To be successful in Biology, a certain amount of time should be investigated in studying the matter by heart. Understanding the subject is ONE thing, being able to explain it yourself to others (Examination) is another.

I compiled these notes for you, the student, bearing in mind that sometimes classes are left without a Biology teacher, for whatever reason (illness, funeral, delays in being posted...) You can use these notes during your biology lessons, bearing in mind that you first have to consult your Biology teacher or Headmaster/Headmistress. He/she is the one who will know if the syllabus has changed, or if there is any latest information on some subjects. For example, I can imagine that the topic Aids-HIV will be a lot different in the year 2010, than it is now. Hopefully, we will have found a cure by then.

When using this edition, you will notice that your teacher not always follows the syllabus order. The reason being that some topics are better dealt with at a later stage, when the student has obtained the needed knowledge to fully comprehend the subject matter. The order, he or she chooses is based on their own experiences, and should be taken as ideal. It is very possible that another teacher might follow a different order
